A Mini Review on Isatin, an Anticancer Scaffold with Potential Activities against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15050536. [PMID: 35631362 PMCID: PMC9146800 DOI: 10.3390/ph15050536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Isatin, chemically an indole-1H-2,3-dione, is recognised as one of the most attractive therapeutic fragments in drug design and development. The template has turned out to be exceptionally useful for developing new anticancer scaffolds, as evidenced by the increasing number of isatin-based molecules which are either in clinical use or in trials. Apart from its promising antiproliferative properties, isatin has shown potential in treating Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) not only as a parent core, but also by attenuating the activities of various pharmacophores. The objective of this mini-review is to keep readers up to date on the latest developments in the biological potential of isatin-based scaffolds, targeting cancer and NTDs such as tuberculosis, malaria, and microbial infections.

Therapeutic Outcomes of Isatin and Its Derivatives against Multiple Diseases: Recent Developments in Drug Discovery. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15030272. [PMID: 35337070 PMCID: PMC8950263 DOI: 10.3390/ph15030272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Isatin (1H indole 2, 3-dione) is a heterocyclic, endogenous lead molecule recognized in humans and different plants. The isatin nucleus and its derivatives are owed the attention of researchers due to their diverse pharmacological activities such as anticancer, anti-TB, antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anti-HIV, and so on. Many research chemists take advantage of the gentle structure of isatins, such as NH at position 1 and carbonyl functions at positions 2 and 3, for designing biologically active analogues via different approaches. Literature surveys based on reported preclinical, clinical, and patented details confirm the multitarget profile of isatin analogues and thus their importance in the field of medicinal chemistry as a potent chemotherapeutic agent. This review represents the recent development of isatin analogues possessing potential pharmacological action in the years 2016–2020. The structure–activity relationship is also discussed to provide a pharmacophoric pattern that may contribute in the future to the design and synthesis of potent and less toxic therapeutics.

Abstract
Hybridization is an important strategy to design molecules that can be effectively used to treat fatal diseases known to mankind. Molecular hybrids and their pharmacological investigations aided in discovering several potent isatin (Indole 2, 3 dione) derivatives with anti-HIV, antimalarial, antitubercular, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. Indole-2,3-dione and their derivatives have diverse pharmacological properties and have a prominent role in the discovery of new drugs. To understand the various approaches for designing new molecules based on isatin nucleus analysis of various pharmacophore hybrids, spacers/linkers between pharmacophores and isatin for hybridization and their biological activities are important. This review discusses the progress in developing isatin hybrids as biologically effective agents and their crucial aspects of design and structure-activity relationships.

[DOI: 10.2174/1570179417666200924150907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Background:
Isatin (IST) is a crucial pharmacologically active compound, chemically known as indole-
1H-2,3-dione. Development of different IST based analogues acquired significant awareness because of its
pronounced therapeutic importance such as analgesic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, antimicrobial,
antifungal, antiviral (effective against SARS coronavirus 3C protease) and many other activities, and represents
an important class of heterocyclic compounds that can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of many useful
drugs.
Objective:
Previously, many articles were reported on IST synthesis and its different pharmacological activities
but herein, we mentioned 59 different synthesis schemes of several IST derivatives/hybrids derived from the substitution
of the nitrogen, aromatic ring, the second and third position of IST along with most potent molecule
among each of synthesized libraries with their structural activity relationship (SAR). Using these standardized
approaches, several biologically important compounds were developed like sunitinib, nintedanib, indirubin, etc
and several studies have been carried out nowadays to develop newer compounds having fewer side effects and
also overcome the problem of resistance.
Conclusion:
This report critically reviews the different strategies for the designs and synthesis of several IST
based compounds having different biological activities with SAR, which can favour further investigation and
modification for the development of new and more potent entities.
